E.T. is currently in residence at the Royaumont Foundation (France) together with musicologist Jeanne Roudet (Sorbonne University), for a project on links between romantic vocality and piano practice during the 19th century. This project includes leading, animating, participating in severals seminaries, masterclasses and concerts of the institution.
Founded in 2015, this ensemble explores the esthetics of the italian repertoire from the 17th and 18th centuries, especially the one connected with the poetical and esthetical mouvement of the Accademia d’Arcadia. Their members thrive to rediscover the simplicity and naturality of the italian poetry through the inspiration of pastoral themes and secular language.
Within this project , E.T. approaches several early keyboards, such as the cembalo di martelli and the harpsichord , conducting from the instrument.
